[edit] Bowed

It's bowed, correct? Badagnani (talk) 20:27, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Not generally, I believe you're thinking of the Icelandic langeleik MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:40, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I think the Scheitholt was primarily bowed, as the very earliest German-introduced lap dulcimers in the U.S. were. The langeleik of Norway is not generally bowed, although the langspil of Iceland is. Badagnani (talk) 20:41, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I checked Grove; it looks like the scheitholt is strummed, but the one that was (sometimes) bowed is the hummel, of Friesland and Holland. Badagnani (talk) 20:44, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I confused myself as to which was the Icelandic one. Good thing wiki is based on consensus, and not my silly mistakes. MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:46, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

It looks like there is speculation that the Scheitholt was bowed. See this site, as well as other sources online. Badagnani (talk) 20:47, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
